Welcome to Modest House, Extraordinary Home. I’ve been blogging about education for the past seven years over at teachingteensinthe21st.com, but last January, I left my calling as an English teacher and answered a new call, as a full time mother to my two beautiful girls, Grace and Claire. Now that I’m home, we are adjusting to many things, but trying to maintain a home we’re proud of, and enjoy each moment with each other. Follow along as I transition into a completely different lifestyle!

About Jen

I am a 30 something mom of two little girls, Grace (two), and Claire (one month). I am an English teacher on hiatus, and I’m married to my best friend, Tony. I love to write, organize, plan, decorate, binge Netflix, cook, and spend time with my family. We view budgeting like an adventure and a challenge!
